Great talk.

Ms kelly riedmiller RVT (28 Aug 2018)

Very interested in using my vet tech license to start a program for pet companions for ptsd war vets/firefighters/policepeople/retired at risk for suicide careers ( corrections officers) so this helped in my research. Also... there are many YouTube videos with documentaries or video footage with war vets and their companion animals. Proof right there.
Thank you,
Kelly

The lecture is very interesting and educational. the audio cuts out for a minute during one of the slides.

This video piqued an interest of mine from long ago. The presenter was very engaging and authentic. I am now encouraged to read more about Dr. O'Haire's studies in the are of human/animal interaction.

Mrs Breanna Portwood (23 Feb 2019)

I enjoyed this course. I think there was some good beginning data on the interaction between humans and animals. I would like to research more into statistics on this subject.

I'm not sure how I failed the first test. I'm pretty sure my answers were the same if not I may have only miss 1 or 2. I don't know if you can check this and get back to me or not. Thank you It was very informative.

Very good course

Dr Sarah Hicks (20 Jan 2017)

Very informative. Sometimes we assume there have been large scale studies proving ideas that we would like to believe. Though I would love to see more research in this area, I am happy to be properly informed about the actual number of studies performed thus far.

Dr Amanda Cushing (20 Dec 2017)

Excellent research, volume could be a bit louder and speaker a bit clearer (in terms of pronunciation)
